DHAKA: The United Nations has appealed assistance for providing food and shelter to the 400,000 Rohingya Muslim who fled from Myanmar to Bangladesh and it was expected that the number could be increased as the Myanmar government continues its crackdown what critics declared it as ethnic cleansing.
The Rohingya Muslims started to flee from their land to Bangladesh on August 25 when the military crackdown was started against them after the series of guerilla attacks on security posts and an army camps in which a dozen of people were killed.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and UN Security Council urged the Myanmar government to halt the ongoing military crackdown against the Rohingya Muslims. Now the UN demands assistance from the world to provide assistance regarding providing food and shelter to the Rohingya Muslims.
